pixels/dirt around object

[btride]

hello,

when designing a sign at illustrator, on white background,  ans placing an image/logo at jpg/png/eps - in printing you can see same dirt op pixels around the image!

see screen shot below,

the only way to clean it that i know of- to open it at Photoshop and clean around it and then close it at one jpg or eps- and then it goes well on printing.

how can i see/do this at illustrator?

i can't see your screenshot.

these are compression artifacts. they're a by-product of raster image compression (like JPEG).

ideally you should either source better images or create your images in illustrator in the first place.

i know that it is what i received from the costumer, but what i'm asking is id i have a way of cleaning it like i do at Photoshop (blur it a bit, cleaning it from out without making image trace because not all logos/images turns out fine after it)

You cannot do pixel editing like this in Illustrator. The proper way would be to manually trace it in Illustrator.

Or ask the customer for a vector image.

not really. you could clip it i guess, but if you're clipping it you might as well redraw it.

you're talking about raster images. illustrator isn't a raster image editor. photoshop is.

ok, thats what i wanted to know, now i know that photoshop is defenetlly the only way of resolving that'

thanks
